When my wife lived in NYC she was walking home one night when there were an unusually large number of rats running around. She noticed that Fred Armisen (actor, comedian) was walking down the middle of the street next to her, and he looked

I had the same experience when doing a career report in junior highschool. I spoke to a vet who had graduated from UC Davis a few years prior and they did everything in their power to talk me out of becoming one.

That's too bad. My parents were farmers and my dad brought some home one day, even though we no longer had cattle when we lived on our ranch. He thought I'd like to play with them, and he was right! Even my friends who weren&#x27

I've used GPT-4 to help with selenium and it gets the answer eventually, but almost never on the first try. So automating this without human intervention sounds tricky.

I was curious about power outages as well, and why tugboats aren't required for all container ships that navigate under bridges. I'm not arguing that tugboats MUST be mandated; just wondering about the cost/benefit analysis.

I can only speak for my narrow corner of the world, but highschool babysitters are definitely normal in my suburban town just south of Nashville, Tennessee. The article also talks about babysitters in the 11 - 13 year old range. We were a

Nice! I just ordered a copy and can't wait to read it! Getting Steve Wozniak to write the forward is quite literally a "ringing" endorsement. ;-) Woz spoke at UC Berkeley (might have been 1998 commencement), and I asked him t

Fair. I just edited my comment because I combined two concepts and muddled them together. It's more common to suffer a poorer yield than total crop loss. But crops like tomatoes can die from lack of water during high heat days if the

Drip is used quite a bit in Northern California for higher value crops like tomatoes, but it's too expensive for normal crops. It also seems like a non-starter for smaller scale and poorer farmers in developing nations; that's a l

Agreed. And everyone needs to be aware that this is a global problem. California has some of the best farm land in the world, but many of the years in the past decade have been brutal from water shortages. Some years have had 50% water del

If you don't irrigate during the day in hot climates some crops will die, and the yields will be terrible for most.

Looks very cool. Am I correct that this is more like a client and that the persistence (user storage, sessions, etc) is handled by the proprietary non-open source cloud backend? Not a criticism, just trying to understand.

Yeah, sometimes you can just accept the differences and enjoy both. Like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" vs. "Blade Runner".

Agreed. When someone dismisses ADHD I think they should be innvited to babysit a kid with untreated ADHD for a week. Let's see how their "correct" parenting techniques work out for them.
